The Spiegel Grove rolls over after it sunk prematurely in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary May 17, 2002, in this handout photo released to Reuters May 16, 2012. The vessel was being prepared to be intentionally sunk as an artificial reef, but began taking on water faster than expected. All personnel evacuated the ship without incident and about three weeks later, a salvage crew fully sunk the former US Navy landing ship dock on its starboard side. [Photo/Agencies] |
